Life is a cycle of new beginnings, coming into fullness, breaking apart and resting before starting the new again. Sometimes we get stuck along the way. Brenda Burgner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Fellow by the Association for Music and Imagery living and working in Richmond, Virginia. She began her social work career 35 years ago with traumatized children in a therapeutic day school. This began a career direction that became a calling. Maya Angelou wrote, "I can be changed by what has happened to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." Brenda has developed an approach of helping clients process their inner world cognitively, emotionally, physiologically, energetically and spiritually so they can be changed but not become reduced by life's events.
